Hi Seniors,

Iam new to Caesar and currently accelerate myself to drive Caesar efficiently. Basically I face some inconsistency after spring hanger designed in Caesar II. The case summarize as below.

Currently attached with a revamp project which requires new piping routing, supports and stress analysis. As to kick start my job I refer previous piping stress report (year 1998)and modelled it into Caesar II to compare the results.

I modelled exactly including constant support load together with load cases establishment.

However my code compliance not able to pass for all the cases.
Sustained and Sustained+Occasional cases are failed.

My concern is why I can get a similar result? Code Compliance failed! Please advise me.

Thank You.

Your job file needs to be reviewed. Open a Support Request on SmartSupport and send in both models for review.

I can't say when the change occurred but spring and constant support pre-loads used to be identified as "F1" (as in W+P1+F1) and now we group those loads in "H" (W+P1+H). Check your load case definitions.
Just a guess.

I think so there will be changes in ambient temperature.

Gents,

Thanks for your kind replies.
Basically I made an error in my piping input.
The pressure conversion to metric unit was wrongly done.
Now I'm able to get the similar result.


Thank You,
P.S.Naveen
